Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,621.90 points, decreased 1.74 points or 0.11%, with a trading value of THB 74.73 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai market moved sideways within range after having plunged in early trading amid selling pressure in the oil-related stocks. The market later bounced back due to renewed buying interest in the energy sector.
Furthermore, funds have rotated into other sectors such as retail, industrial estate, and finance, despite lacking new positive factors.
For tomorrow, the analyst expects the Thai market to trade sideways.
The Subcommittee on the Development of New National Investments under the Joint Public and Private Sector Consultative Committee (JPPSCC) convened to advance Thailand’s economic development. The goal is to enhance Thailand’s economic growth to surpass 3% annually and to improve the country’s global competitiveness.
Simultaneously, the committee targets raising the combined investment by both public and private sectors to 30% of the country’s gross domestic product, aiming to achieve these targets within four years.
Thailand has captured more than $26.8 billion (approx. THB 900 billion) in investment applications for its semiconductor and advanced electronics sectors over the past three years.
Driven by accelerating global demand for artificial intelligence, next-generation semiconductors, electric vehicles, and high-performance computing, Thailand has drawn 880 high-tech projects between 2023 and mid-2026. A major catalyst is the printed circuit board (PCB) sector, which accounts for $9.85 billion (approx. THB 331 billion) across 224 projects.
